NDIS Supported Disabilities Services: What We Offer & What It Means to Be a Provider
Introduction
Did you know there are about 4.3 million Australians living with disabilities? The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) made it possible for individuals with challenging behaviour and complex needs to get the expert support they need to live free and independent lives.
At our Sydney-based agency—Equality Disability and Health Care Services—our committed team provides diverse services and support to our clients. Our passion for caring for others and empowering our clients in their daily lives is what drives us.
What is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was introduced in 2013 and became available nationwide in 2020. It provides funding to eligible Australians under 65 with a permanent and significant disability, helping them access the supports and services they need.
The NDIS gives participants greater choice and control over their care and supports people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive, and psychosocial disabilities. It also provides early childhood intervention supports for eligible children with developmental delays or disabilities.
To qualify, individuals must meet age, residency, and disability-related eligibility requirements.
What is an NDIS Provider?
NDIS funding allows individuals and families to access numerous providers offering a wide range of services and programs.
Providers can be registered or unregistered. Registered providers are accredited by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, ensuring high standards are met.
Equality Disability and Health Care Services (EDHCS) is a registered NDIS provider with over 20+ years of combined experience. We work with NDIS plan managers, support coordinators, and community partners to ensure that our clients receive tailored services that meet their complex needs.
